Our top styling tips

WHAT WE WEAR AND HOW WE LOOK FOR AN INTERVIEW is not only an important factor in making the right impression but it’s also a crucial visual clue to our personality. Here are some tips on getting it spot-on…

BE COMFORTABLE

Your outfit should be thoughtful and appropriate but, most importantly, you must feel comfortable. Interviewers will notice if you feel self-conscious.

DRESS FOR THE POSITION

Generally – go smarter rather than casual. Wearing a suit or something office-appropriate says ‘this interview is important to me’.

FIT FOR PURPOSE

Tailoring what you wear to fit the type of occupation will showcase authenticity. For a designer position, for example, predominantly your personal style needs to shine through.

TAILORED TO THE BRAND

Do some research on the company culture by looking at photos on social media of office events, and then, if appropriate, try to reflect this style. It could send a subliminal message that you are the right fit for the company.

LOOK LIKE YOU

Look natural enough that your interviewer can expect that this is what you’ll look like on a regular basis. If you don’t wear lots of make-up, it’s not the time to start now.

MAKE THE EFFORT

It may be obvious, but make sure you are neat and well-groomed and pay attention to even small details like your nails. Remember there will be lots of handshakes!
